Teaching Excellence

Increase Knowledge

Western’s standing on the global stage is driven by our strengths in teaching and research. This is dependent on one factor alone – the quality of our faculty. Our campaign is focused on attracting and retaining the best teachers and researchers to teach our students. We have set an ambitious goal to grow the number of endowed chairs at Western. These chairs will bring new knowledge and research, teaching strengths and will provide sustained leadership in fields of strategic importance to the University.

Our vision includes

• Having one in 10 students come from parts of Canada outside of Ontario
• Having one in 10 students attend from outside Canada
• Enabling one in 10 students to spend some portion of their year learning outside Canada
• More than 3,000 new undergraduate awards and 2,000 new graduate awards
• Global Opportunity (GO) Awards to support international learning
• International scholarships to support students from around the world
